All tentative data
The current ongoing violence at Manipur is by Christian Naga and Kuki against Hindu Meitei
Meitei r native citizen of Manipur and in 1949 when Manipur was unified in India then GOI promised that they will preserve their ethnicity
At 1949 Meitei were 64% in Manipur but now they have been reduced to less than 50%
So for that Meitei approached to Imphal high court to provide them reservation in ST catagory n court ruled in favour of them n asked govt to make a committee n give them reservation in ST
Naga n Kuki opposed this it will give right to Meitei to buy land in hill area though govt said rights of all tribes will be preserved.
Currently Meitei r mostly in Imphal vally that is 10% and Naga n Kuki dominates hill n villages
N then this reservation Issue came
Yesterday ATSUM a Naga n Kuki student organisation carried out protest rally n then violence started after this rally
There r videos viral where rioters can be seen equipped with AK47, i can’t confirm their authenticity at this moment
Army has been deployed in Manipur n shoot n sight orders have been issued in few areas
Amit Shah closely monitoring situation
- Currently there is BJP govt n Biren Singh is CM
